Summary
“When they played in the caves, they were not Elwing-Elrond-Elros, mother and sons. They were three refugee children pretending to be ordinary children, feral in salt-stained clothes and their foremother's wide, watchful eyes. Up and down the shoreline, caves like these were claimed by Sirion's young to play in, designed, occupied and defended by children who understood that space you could call yours was temporary, that you took it when you found it and could lose it any time.“
Elwing cares little for the forests of Valinor.

Bookmark Notes:
"How strange, that those cramped, reeking, salt-worn hollows, temporary as everything else in her early life, are the most enduring thing she carries. Even stranger, that she can close her eyes in the eternal gardens of Aman and still feel Sirion's rock caves under her feet, her caves, those unforgiving labyrinths, studded with sharp seaglass and crusted barnacles, slick with bladder-wrack and kelp."
"An echoing emissary guided by the strings of her heart, fleet-feathered in the sonorous dark."
